11.3.2.3.2 Page Erase Command

The Page Erase (FLPER/EEPER) commands erase the current page. Write one byte in the page buffer for the Page Erase command to take effect.

For erasing the Flash, a dummy write to one address in the desired page is required first, followed by command execution. The whole page in the Flash will then be erased. The CPU will stop or continue based on the same conditions as the Page Write command.

When executing the command for the EEPROM, only the bytes written in the page buffer will be erased. To erase a specific byte, write to its corresponding address before executing the command. Update all the bytes in the page buffer before writing the command to erase a whole page. The CPU will continue running code while the operation is ongoing.

The page buffer used will automatically be cleared after finishing the operation.
